Quest Soliman has become a staple in NY surfing over the last few years. I’ve rarely seen someone who has started surfing so late in life, take to surfing the way he has. He’s been ripping the beaches of Rockaway but has also made a huge impact on the community and is giving back in so many ways. Whether it’s organizing events for surfers young and old, fundraising for great causes or just inspiring the next generation, Quest has solidified himself a spot in the lineup. His travel exploits with his sometimes cohort Paul Godette under the label Stop Playin With Em, is the classic surfing hero's journey archetype. It’s a comforting reminder to us older crew that the more things change, the more they stay the same in all the good ways. Like Hynson and August, Knaughton and Peterson, & Turner and Potter. Soliman and Godette are just the next generation of explorers.   Quest is currently helping to organize a Juneteenth Beach kickback Surf event on June 22nd on 90th street. Quest is our guest on this episode of the Swell season surf podcast.  To Learn more about the upcoming Juneteenth Beach Kickback, you can follow Quest on his instagram: @questmarley & @stop_playinwithem The Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network.  For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com  Music:  Song: Kiss & Say Goodbye Artist: The Manhattans Album: The Best of the Manhattans Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season--3483504/support.
